Lets say I am currently at: http://example.com/folder/page.html

Is it possible to create a relative link on this page that points to http://example.com/folder/ without specifying folder anywhere? (And using only HTML.)

UPDATE: As it turned out ./ works only in non-strict doctype mode, while . works in both modes, so it is still a better answer in my opinion 🙂 Thanks everybody.

    Just dot is working. The doctype makes a difference however as sometimes the ./ is fine as well.

    <a href='.'>Link to this folder</a>
